Freeze Mode
Use this feature to temporarily hold or freeze all current waveforms, even those that are not displayed.
Monitoring does not stop; you can still view the current measured values in the parameter boxes.
When you freeze the waveforms, you may not adjust any waveform settings. The waveform menus on the left
side of the screen are not accessible and the waveform submenus on the parameter menus are not available.
In addition, attempting to perform any functions that require the waveform area will cause the freeze mode to
be cancelled. For example, if you freeze the waveforms and then select ALARMS from the main menu, the alarm
limits box will be displayed in the waveform area and the waveforms will no longer be in freeze mode.
To freeze the waveforms:
Turn the rotary knob on the monitor to move the cursor. On the main menu at the bottom of the display,
1.
highlight FREEZE and push the knob to select. The waveforms will stop, or freeze.
To start the waveforms again, turn the rotary knob to highlight UNFREEZE and push the knob to select.
